Previous Entry  Add to memories!  Tell a Friend  Next Entry

I woke up today and found out that my friend's house is in pre-foreclosure.  Hmmmm.  I was thinking about how I could assist and then I realized that it is not my fault he took vacations, bought new cell phones every two minutes, had a fresh $4.00 coffee in his hand twice daily etc. etc. etc.  I am not getting down on this person, I just don't know if I should feel bad.  If I assisted him, I would just be enabling the behavior.

I feel lucky.  I have a working wife (I wish she wouldn't work so much).  My job will never be obsolite.  I sold my last house before the market went south.  Though my current house is not perfect, it is comfortable and I can stay in it without having dealers and hookers pass my front door (like my fist house). 

Good moments of the week:  My mother smiled through her mouth gard when I saw her.  My brother and I are good at rearranging furniture (not good enough to start our own business).  My wife was fiesty about her "tails" it made me laugh inside (at her not with her).  I got NDT tires mounted on my Willys.  My cat is now acting normal (like a dog).  I got to spend last weekend with S. and I get to spend this coming weekend with her again.

Bad moments of the week:  lets forget them and not spoil the good ones.

Books that I have read this month (I don't read five a day like some of my siblings):

Predictably Irrational (Dan Ariely).  The book was a common sense but a good reminder.... I give it a seven.

Unlocked (Louis Ferrane).  The book was OK but I had high hopes for it and felt a bit let down....  I give it a five.

Hmmm...seems like it is not nice to laugh at your wife. I suspect she has to work a lot to pay for the Jeep in your picture -- looks like quite the project. Perhaps too much working keeps her distracted from her thoughts, which only serves to benefit all....

It is good to remember how lucky we all are -- sometimes it is hard to do the same. Thanks for the reminder. I admire that you're able to see the good even in the midst of less than desirable situations. I am glad you got to see you're mother smile.

Remember, Mama sees all. ;)
